Character Taken Captive After Loss(14 posts, 835 views) Posted: 265d 10h, 41m ago by shade449 in I'm Looking For...Akame ga Kill! has elements of this. The protagonist is captured by the enemy faction in one mini-arc but the circumstances of the capture aren't necessarily tragic. In fact it was almost comedic although certainly dangerous for the hero. He does have a tr ...

Magic the Gathering(13 posts, 1069 views) Posted: 890d 21h, 45m ago by shade449 in Games
I'm a long time (10+ years) on and off Magic player. It's definitely a fun game and every time I quit the game I seem to come back after a few years.

I highly recommend drafting, it's a great way to play games while obtaining cards. Much better ...

Reading the rhythm of the opponent(9 posts, 753 views) Posted: 997d 8h, 55m ago by shade449 in I'm Looking For...Knight Run has this. It doesn't seem like it in the beginning but in the latest couple of chapters you learn more about the fighting style of the heroine and how she reads her opponents' tune. ...

Knights of the old republic for the first timeim like 8hours in and im allready as big a star wars fan as i was before episode 2 just killed everything star wars for meand then after episode 3 i promised myself to never ever ...

But you have to notice the different goals between shoujo and shounen protagonists. You're right that while they both generally start out as average or below average in looks or strength or intelligence or whatnot, only the shounen ...

NEED manga (17 posts, 2369 views) Posted: 1856d 8h, 16m ago by shade449 in I'm Looking For...
It would help if you made your lists public, otherwise we have no idea what you have and haven't read. The series you've listed seem to be action-oriented shounen with varying degrees of humor but then you say not like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece all ...

Then again, 95% of what I've seen on American Idol (admittedly, not alot) makes me cringe, so nothing new.

Nothing to be ashamed about though, she's just like all the other anime geeks in thousands of high schools eve ...

protagonist has to adjust to high school(9 posts, 1348 views) Posted: 1878d 10h, 10m ago by shade449 in I'm Looking For...Devil Devil kinda fits. About a powerful devil that ends up stuck in the body of a weak teenager for some reason (forgot why, finished the manga a loooong time ago). The devil has to adjust to life as a high (middle?) school-er while fighting off other devils and angels ...

The ending!(24 posts, 5640 views) Posted: 1879d 18h, 48m ago by shade449 in Hikaru no Go
I disliked the ending at first but the more I thought about it, the more I grew to appreciate it. I really liked Sai and his final death still remains one of the saddest things I've seen in manga. After re-reading the manga later though, it became obvious that he had tau ...

Which browser do you like best???(273 posts, 20305 views) Posted: 1931d 11h, 54m ago by shade449 in Chatter Box
Well, I just updated my Opera to 10.01 and I have to say, Im liking the new Opera Turbo option. I haven't been able to see if it's anymore stable but if it is, I might not switch to Chrome afterall. ...

Which browser do you like best???(273 posts, 20305 views) Posted: 1931d 13h, 27m ago by shade449 in Chatter Box
Opera at home, Chrome at work. When Google comes out with Chrome for Macs, I'll probably switch. I've used Opera for years but the mouse gestures are fairly useless to me since I don't use a mouse much anymore and the long startup tim ...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. The answer is indeed Vocaloid, although I could've sworn I've seen a guy just like that in a manga. Oh well, I'm sure if I have, I'll remember it eventually. ...

Hey guys, I've been catching up on Onidere lately and Sexyboi Scan's credit page has been driving me nuts. The characters seem so familiar but I can't quite figure out what their from. Here's the picture:

Firstly, about Greece and Rome. Neither had a strict moral code in the sense of Christianity and Islam. However, every city had a set of principles that was heavily defined by the god they chose to worship. For example, Athens worshiped Athena heavily a ...
